Long defined in the public eye by the disappearance of her husband, Zara Holt was so much more than a Prime Minister’s wife. In The Secret Year of Zara Holt, Kimberley Freeman reimagines her life in exquisite detail, from her couture fashion design talents and travel sagas, to her business acumen and scandalous friends. Find out what we might dream about her life, interrogate fact and fancy and discover why Zara must step out from Harold’s shadow. Kimberley will be in conversation with Sita Sargeant, author of She Shapes History: Guided Walks and Stories About Great Australian Women and founder of She Shapes History.

Kimberley Freeman was born in London and grew up in Queensland. Freeman is known for her richly detailed historical novels featuring strong female protagonists navigating love, loss, and family secrets across different time periods. She also writes historical fantasy under her real name, Kim Wilkins, and is a Professor of writing and literature at the University of Queensland. Her award-winning novels have been translated into more than 20 languages.
